Ladki Bahin Yojana: Will the Criteria Change?

The Ladki Bahin Yojna has been a pivotal initiative by the Maharashtra government, aimed at empowering women economically and socially. This scheme provides direct financial benefits to women in Maharashtra, offering them economic independence and aiding in their health and nutrition improvements. Initially launched six months ago under the leadership of the Chief Minister as a part of the ‘Chief Minister My Ladki Bahin Yojna,’ it promises to strengthen the role of women within their families and society.

Background of the Scheme

Following the Lok Sabha elections, the Maharashtra Mahayuti government introduced the Ladki Bahin Yojna as a tool to attract women voters. The initiative was designed to provide direct financial benefits, with an age group of 21 to 65 years being eligible. Despite the election code of conduct halting the process temporarily, now that elections have concluded and results declared, women across the state are eagerly waiting for the December installment of the scheme.

Previously, the scheme provided ₹1,500 per month, but the government had promised that if re-elected, this would increase to ₹2,100 per month. However, rumors began circulating that the scheme would either be discontinued or the eligibility criteria would be revised. As November ended without the release of the month’s installment, confusion about the future of the scheme spread among the public.

Ajit Pawar Clears the confusion

In a bid to resolve the confusion, Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar recently addressed the issue. Speaking about the scheme and its future, he assured the public that there would be no changes in the criteria for the Ladki Bahin Yojna. Ajit Pawar emphasized that the criteria will remain the same, and the financial assistance will continue without any hindrance.

He added, “In our caring government, there is no plan to change the criteria for this scheme. The women will continue receiving their benefits as promised.”

The Ladki Bahin Yojana (Beloved Sister Scheme) in Maharashtra, launched by the state government to empower women economically, is undergoing some key updates. The government aims to improve the financial independence, health, and nutrition of women in the state while strengthening their role in the family. However, there are some important changes and requirements that beneficiaries must be aware of.

What You Need to Know About KYC for Ladki Bahin Yojana

One of the crucial updates for the Ladki Bahin Yojana is related to the KYC process, which needs to be completed by all women who are applying for this scheme. KYC (Know Your Customer) is mandatory to ensure the accuracy of beneficiary details and to link your ration card with your bank account. This must be done by December 31st, which is less than a month away.

To complete the KYC, all you need to do is visit your nearest ration shop. The shopkeeper will use a special machine to take your thumbprint and scan your eyes. You can even bring along your family members to complete the process if needed.

Important Documents for KYC:

  • Your ration card should either be yellow or orange.
  • If your family income exceeds ₹2.5 lakh annually, make sure you have the necessary proof.

Once this process is completed, your ration card will be updated and linked to the scheme, allowing you to receive the benefits.

Monthly Financial Aid Under Ladki Bahin Yojana

Another important change concerns the amount of financial assistance women will receive under this scheme. Starting in April 2024, the monthly payout for beneficiaries will be increased to ₹2,100 (up from ₹1,500). This move aims to provide more robust support to women and help them achieve financial stability.
